Gordon’s Cup | Cocktail Party

Gordon’s Cup

Gordon’s Cup is a crisp, refreshing cocktail from the late, brilliant mixologist Sasha Petraske. It’s the entry point for a whole family of more-savory cocktails, like Gordon’s Breakfast.

Preparations of the drink differ; some folks prefer to muddle the lime in the drink glass for a more pungent lime scent on the sip, while others prefer to muddle the lime in the shaking glass for more even distribution of lime flavor in the drink. For the Gordon’s Cup, we count ourselves in the latter camp; for Gordon’s Breakfast we prefer the messier, more fragrant presentation of limes smooshed in the glass.

Ingredients

Instructions

Muddle the lime, cucumber, and simple syrup in a shaker. Add ice and gin, and shake well. Strain into an ice-filled short glass, top with more slices of cucumber, and sprinkle with the pinches of salt and freshly-ground black pepper.

Far superior to any other cocktail app

I have only been using the app for a short time but already I can tell that it is far superior to any other cocktail app I have used until now. The user interface is easy to use and visually appealing, and the search function displays recipes as you type which will make this app easy and fast to use. Highly recommended for use as a bartender or server, or at home making drinks for a party or night in. The developer also promises recipes added regularly and the customer support is second to none.
